The Strange Cat from Fuuto

As Honganji Jun pulled the trigger, he was immediately thrown away by the powerful recoil, but the fireball that shot out of the cannon landed straight in the midst of the monsters and exploded with a bang.

"Wow, that's really something!"

As he got up from the ground, Jun felt like his whole body was about to fall apart. "Weapons prepared for Kamen Riders are really unusable by ordinary humans!" He had noticed the weakness of the cannon's large recoil, which was why he took it over.

Unexpectedly, the recoil of the cannon was so great that he felt as if he had been hit head-on by a truck.

"Section Chief, are you alright!" The pale-faced Sawakami Suzuna tried to help Honganji Jun up, but both of her arms had already dislocated when the first shot was fired, and she could barely stand, let alone help Honganji Jun up.

"Still alive!"

Jun Honganji, struggling to his feet, looked at the cannon barrel in his arms and gave a wry smile: "The weapon you designed is really violent. That last shot almost killed me!"

"This was originally developed for the Drive system; ordinary humans simply cannot use it properly!" Sawakami Suzuna bit her lip, looking at the cannon in Honganji Jun's arms: "If Shinnosuke were still here, he would definitely be able to use it with unparalleled skill!"

"What's the use of saying all this now? We just need to do what we can do!" Honganji Jun stood up, his arms swinging, clearly dislocated as well.

"Doctor, please!"

Rin Sawakami, who was looking at Mad Doctor, received treatment from him. Stimulated by the energy syringes, her arms returned to their original position, but the intense pain caused her to scream, as did Jun Honganji.

"Oh my god, Doctor's treatment hurts so much!" Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, Jun Honganji plopped down on the ground, panting, and looked at the defensive line in front of her.

The two of them fired their own shots earlier, which successfully reduced the pressure on the defensive line by more than half. Many of the monsters turned into hedgehogs as the fireballs exploded. Not only that, the spikes stuck in their bodies were like rockets with boosters, spinning and drilling in with flames at their tails.

"Wow!!"

A shrill, ghostly cry came from the sky. When Jun Honganji looked up, his face turned ashen. Dense, dark clouds were pressing down on them.

But these weren't dark clouds at all; they were clearly a dense mass of strange people.

"This is it, we're doomed!"

Torasuke, who was putting up a fierce resistance, was overjoyed when he discovered that Jun Honganji and Suzuna Sawagami had eased the pressure on the defensive line, and his heart was filled with boundless hope for survival.

But with the arrival of the strange group of people who could fly, he even dropped the gun he was holding.

The defense line was able to hold off the monsters thanks to the special steel plates used to construct it, along with their suppressive fire, which allowed them to barely maintain the current situation. However, when facing monsters with highly maneuverable flight capabilities, they were like chicks under an eagle's claws, left only to tremble in fear.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

As the dark clouds drew closer, everyone heard a buzzing sound like the flapping of mosquito wings, noise caused by shock waves traveling through the air.

"Gudu!"

A clear swallowing sound rang out as the Adam's apple slid up and down. The demonic creature, resembling a fusion of a dragonfly and a scorpion, charged down first. The allure of the demonic creature to humans was comparable to that of a drunkard seeing fine wine.

The stench emanating from the gaping maw of the demonic monster made everyone present want to vomit.

Furthermore, the target that the demon chose when it rushed down was Suzuna Sawagami, because in its limited memory, women tasted much better than men.

"asshole!"

Realizing she was being targeted, Sawakami Suzuna bit her lip and snatched the cannon from Honganji Jun's hand. She raised the muzzle and aimed it at the demon, willing to be killed by the recoil rather than be eaten.

"Shh!"

A sharp whooshing sound suddenly rang out, and a figure appeared out of thin air as if tearing through space, kicking the demonic monster that lunged at Sawagami Suzuna to pieces.

That wasn't all. Using the shockwave from the explosion of the demonized monster, the figure soared into the sky once more. At the same time, a massive force field appeared, enveloping all the monsters within it.

The strange crowd in the sky seemed to have been slowed down; their speed, which could easily surpass that of birds, had turned into a snail's jog.

In this scene, countless afterimages suddenly appeared in the sky, each corresponding to a strange figure. As all the strange figures exploded in mid-air, the afterimages slowly overlapped and fell to the ground.

Everyone saw the newcomer's appearance clearly. Rinna covered her open mouth, her face full of disbelief, and tears welled up in her wide-open eyes.

"Shinnosuke!"

"You really know how to give people a fright, you brat!!" Honganji Jun collapsed with a relieved smile on his face.

"Brother Bo!!!"

Xicheng Jiu, who was jumping and shouting while grabbing his comrade next to him, looked like a madman. He was obviously overjoyed and shocked by the appearance of the old driver.

"Special Investigation Division officer, Tomari Shinnosuke requests re-entry!" The veteran officer, who had saluted Honganji Jun, smiled slightly and slowly got up to return the salute.

"Welcome back to the team, Bo!"

"Ok!"

The experienced driver nodded heavily, but then he looked at the strange man outside the defensive line and said, "Sorry, Section Chief."

"Let's talk about catching up and asking questions later; I need to deal with them first!"

At this moment, Suzuna Sawakami ran to the old driver's side, touching and looking at him, "Has Drive been upgraded? It looks different from before!"

Indeed, the old driver's transformed appearance is completely different from before. The tire that used to be on his chest has moved to his back, and a reactor core emitting a silver glow has appeared on the red armor on his chest. His armor is now covered with dense silver-gray patterns, and his biological skin has yellow textures.

"Well, there are many hidden reasons behind this, let's talk about it later, Suzuna-nee!"

"Back off! Back off!"

The experienced driver, holding onto Sawakami Suzuna's shoulder and making her step back, shook his right wrist. "Belt-san, are you ready?"

"It's fully warmed up; the engine is ready to start at any time!"

"Very well, then I'll get started without being polite!"

The experienced driver, his right hand on his chest, growled, "Come on, Shift Tridoron!"

As the chest reactor blazed brightly, the Shift Tridoron tank flew out from it.

"Snapped!"

The veteran driver, gripping the Shift Tridoron gearshift vehicle, pressed the button on it with his thumb. The screen on the top of the vehicle suddenly lit up, and two logos appeared on the Shift Tridoron: one was the R logo for Drive, and the other was the Roidmud virus core logo.

After the two logos merged, a faint sheen appeared on the Shift Tridoron's body.

"Ready to go!" The experienced driver shoved the Shift Tridoron into the gearshift bracelet and jerked it into place.

"Drive! type Tridoron!"

The familiar sound effect rang out, and the extra-thick soy milk burst out from the Drive base under the Special Classroom and shot straight into the sky.

The extra-thick soy milk, falling freely from the sky, hurtled straight down towards the veteran driver. Before it even hit the ground, the extra-thick soy milk spontaneously disintegrated into pieces that flew towards the veteran driver.

As numerous parts flew toward the veteran driver, several virus core vehicles also flew out of the air and merged into the veteran driver's armor parts.

"Boom... Boom!"

The moment the Type Tridoron of the Drive system appeared, the ground around the driver collapsed, and a violent wave of flames spread in all directions with a powerful impact. The rocks that the driver had shaken up became deadly bullets under the force of the impact.

However, these stones were moving through the air at an incredibly slow speed. Sawakami Suzuna curiously pushed one of them and was surprised to find that the stone was stuck in the air as if it were glued on, and it wouldn't move at all.

"This is Roidmud's gravity acceleration ability?!" Sawakami Suzuna exclaimed in disbelief, her eyes wide. "When did the Drive system become able to control gravity acceleration fields so precisely?"

The generation and cancellation of the acceleration field both originate from the core drive mechanism developed by the belt Zanklim, and the Drive system is also powered by this mechanism.

Theoretically, Drive can generate a heavy acceleration field, but it cannot be used because it cannot be canceled out after being turned on. The fact that experienced drivers dare to use it now proves that the current Drive system can freely turn the heavy acceleration field on and off.

"Run a lap with me, Belt-san!!"

"Ok, start your Engine!"

Chapter 117: Piston Cannon, Speculation about the Mastermind!

In the dilapidated city, freaks gathered like a tide, rampaging through the city. Buildings were demolished, houses collapsed, and the roads were filled with cars belching black smoke. Large patches of bright red blood were splattered on the ground, making them particularly conspicuous.

More than 80% of the city's population was massacred, and the remaining 20% ​​were also in imminent danger.

The defenses set up by the Special Task Force were almost completely destroyed, leaving only the last line of defense, the command post, stubbornly holding on.

Inside the defense line, in front of the Kuruma driving license test center.

The old driver, enveloped in silver light, was surrounded by a field of accelerated force within several meters. Everyone around him stared in disbelief at the Kamen Rider in front of them.

"Whoosh!"

With a flick of his wrist, the silver light emanating from his body dissipated, revealing the veteran driver in his strongest form. However, due to Miku's repeated interference, his final form differed from his appearance in the original storyline.

The red armor is covered with silver energy pipe patterns, all of which emanate from the throbbing reactor in the veteran driver's chest, providing him with super-powerful power anytime, anywhere. There are half-tire-shaped shoulder pads on each shoulder, and a silver and black tire hangs on the back of the neck, with exposed electrical wires on the inner arc of the tire.

The originally yellow eyepiece now has silver textures, giving it a mysterious look.

The auxiliary wheels on both legs and feet have an additional transmission device. Part of the transmission pipes are exposed on the sides of the lower leg armor, and the pipes are connected to the core reactor in the chest, which can provide the maximum running speed.

"It's time to deal with them!"

Looking at the horde of strange people still crashing against the protective steel plate outside, the veteran driver leaped over their heads. Before he even landed, his yellow goggles suddenly lit up, and the silver texture instantly turned black.

The moment the eyepiece changed, the experienced driver snapped his fingers.

"Snapped!"

An invisible, accelerating force field of light suddenly erupted from him, encompassing all the monsters in front of him. The figures of all the monsters swept by the light wave suddenly froze in mid-air. Although they were still moving, their relative speed reached its minimum.

"Try this, Shinnosuke!"

Remembering the special weapon she had developed, Suzuna Sawakami threw it out the moment she spoke again. The cannon flew through the air and then suddenly stopped after falling into the gravity field.

The experienced driver scooped it up and thanked Sawamura Suzuna, saying, "Thank you so much, Suzuna-nee!"

"Then let me try out the new weapon that Suzuna-nee specially developed for me."

The shape of the cannon developed by Suzuna Sawakami is somewhat similar to the trailer cannon in the original work, but it is completely different from the trailer cannon.

The crimson cannon body features silver arrow markings extending from the handle to the muzzle. Behind the cannon is a recess for loading gear-shifting vehicles, resembling a storage container, but with a double-layered design. The cannon handle is similar to the handle of a rice cooker lid, except that it has a trigger.

"First, load the gear-shifting vehicle, then twist the handle and pull it back, and finally pull the trigger to push the handle back!"

With her hands clasped to her mouth, Suzuna Sawakami loudly explained how to use the cannon. The veteran driver immediately followed her instructions. The cannon was already loaded with Max Flare and Funky Spike, two gear-shifting vehicles. The veteran driver didn't summon any new vehicles and simply did as Suzuna Sawakami instructed.

With his left hand supporting the muzzle and his right hand gripping the handle, he twisted it to one side. With a soft "click," the veteran driver pulled out the handle, but to his surprise, the part of the handle that was pulled out could also be used to load and shift gears into the tank.

"Pull it out, then pull the trigger and push it back in!"

The veteran driver, talking to himself, pulled the trigger and pushed forward with his right hand. He felt a strong recoil coming from the gun in his hand. He only saw a beam of light, no thicker than a water glass, flash past the muzzle. The beam of light shot out and swept away everything in front of him.

"Wow, this thing is really powerful!" The veteran driver couldn't help but exclaim. Seeing this, Suzuna Sawakami said excitedly, "Just as I thought, this cannon can only unleash its greatest power in the hands of a Kamen Rider."

"Hmm, Suzuna's newly developed weapon is quite interesting. It combines the advantages of both the Max Flare and Funky Spike gear-shifting vehicles. The Max Flare provides the energy output, while the Funky Spike concentrates the energy and fires it out in a nail-like shape, greatly enhancing the penetrating power and destructive force of the energy projectile!"

Zankelim briefly commented on the weapon's advantages, while the veteran driver hugged it to his chest and said excitedly, "It's decided, we'll call you Piston Cannon!"
